The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 476: Concerned Heart

Jacob, who suffered at the hands of the old wizard, went to find Li the next day.

"Li, those magicians who call themselves the Eye of Truth are simply lawless! If you don't take care of them, they will take advantage of us!"

Jacob knew very well how important the mission of the caravan he led was, so he was not worried at all that Li would reject him.

The fact was just as Jacob thought. Li cured Jacob's internal injuries immediately and also very kindly invited him to sit down and communicate.

"Jacob, I know how much you have contributed to the North during this period of time. I have long been targeting those magicians you encountered. I will redeem you for the grievances you have endured."

Li also didn't expect that the first person those people from the Eye of Truth would target was Jacob as soon as they jumped out of the dark side.

It can be seen how much money Jacob made during this period of time, even the group of magicians were tempted by it.

"You've got your eyes on those Eye of Truth magicians?"

Jacob was a little surprised to hear Li's answer.

"Yes, it is these conscienceless people who sell dangerous potions in the North."

When the matter of the potion was mentioned, Jacob realized that Li had also asked him to pay attention to this matter before.

However, Jacob only cared about business matters. He only verbally agreed to help with the search, but he didn't actually take it seriously.

I didn't expect that the magician, who had ignored me before, would come to humiliate me.

Thinking of this, Jacob felt a little guilty, and he was no longer as righteous as he was at the beginning.

"Are they dangerous people? Li, you'd better deal with them quickly!"

"I will solve it as soon as possible, but before that, you have to cooperate with me to do one thing."

Li took out a plan and stuffed it into Jacob's hand.

This was not the first time Jacob helped Li. He put the plan in his arms and waited to look at it carefully after returning.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first?"

Lee waved his hand, allowing Jacob to leave.

After Jacob left, Xiaoli walked in from outside. The first thing she did after coming in was to express her dissatisfaction to Li.

“Master! Jacob is becoming more and more arrogant. Please allow me to teach him a lesson!”

Whenever Jacob felt wronged, he would go straight to Lee, and was not polite at all when they met.

Jacob just called Li by his name, which was an overstepping of authority!

Xiaoli looked down on Jacob from the beginning. She felt that even if the young master wanted to find someone to take charge of business affairs, he should find someone who was down-to-earth and reliable.

"Xiao Li, Jacob is a capable businessman. His ability matches his ambition. He deserves the offense he has caused me."

Jacob is really good in business, he has a keen vision and is bold. Most importantly, Jacob can quickly accept new ideas given by Lee and achieve good results.

Many times, when Li assigned Xiaoli or others to do things, various problems would occur, but Jacob was the only one who completed the task well every time.

Therefore, when Li said that Jacob could be arrogant in front of him, he was recognizing it from the bottom of his heart.

"But Master! He is disrespectful to you and will definitely betray you in the future!"

Li smiled slightly and didn't take Xiaoli's warning seriously at all.

The day Jacob was ready to betray Lee was the day of Jacob's death, and Lee kept his word.

"Forget about Jacob, Xiaoli, did you get any results with the person I asked you to keep an eye on?"

Xiaoli took a deep breath and put Jacob aside for the time being.

"Venomous Snake, right? The assassin team led by Emma had contact with Viper but didn't find anything. That person doesn't seem to be very capable."

Xiaoli reported the results of the investigation, but she was also very confused.

She didn't understand why Li would specifically target such an inconspicuous person.

"Is that venomous snake really so insignificant..."

Li did not dare to underestimate anyone who had appeared in the dream world.

Moreover, Li had planted a curse on the poisonous snake, but Li had sensed the curse several times and could only vaguely perceive the location of the poisonous snake, but could not grasp its specific whereabouts.

The long distance might be a factor, but Li is more inclined to believe that the venomous snake has some unique ways to avoid being spied on.

"That venomous snake has been to the North and is deeply involved in the matter of potions. Not long ago, he attended a noble gathering and interacted with many high-ranking nobles. I don't believe he is just an ordinary gangster!"

"Master, I will continue to instruct Emma to keep an eye on the venomous snake..."

"No need for that. I'm afraid there might be a trap behind the venomous snake, which might hurt Emma and the others."

After thinking for a while, Li decided to contact the magician of the Eye of Truth in person.

Viper must have communicated with these magicians, and maybe he can figure out what they are doing behind the scenes.

"I'm going to be out for a while. If there's anything important, use magic to notify me."

Li changed into an inconspicuous civilian outfit and quickly blended into the crowd.

Xiaoli watched the young master disappear in the crowd, and the feeling of emptiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"Xiao Li, have you made your master angry again?"

Xiaoli looked back and saw Lucy walking towards her lazily and talking to her.

After Lucy's wish was fulfilled, she lived a very comfortable life.

Lucy is a heartless person. She has been doing nothing but eating and sleeping lately and has gained a lot of weight.

"…The young master's rest time is getting shorter and shorter. Lucy, you should share the burden with the young master!"

"You said Li, you're worried about what he might do. He's so amazing. Our safety is the best support for him."

Xiaoli also understood that her existence would only hinder the young master, but she couldn't be like Lucy and not care about Li's movements.

Lucy discovered that Xiaoli was born to worry, and she didn't intend to persuade Xiaoli to change her mind.

Just as Lucy was about to leave, Xiaoli grabbed her arm.

Feeling the trembling in Xiaoli's hands, Lucy's frivolous mood turned serious.

"Did you notice anything wrong?"

“…I can’t really tell. I have a very bad feeling that the young master is going to leave me forever.”

Lucy didn't quite believe Xiaoli's perception and just thought that she was just concerned.

But what Xiaoli said next made Lucy feel a chill down her spine.

"The last time I felt this way was when I was affected by the Book of the Dead. That time, I almost broke off relations with the young master..."

"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me this important thing earlier!"

Lucy could no longer remain calm. She also cared about Li. If something really happened to Li, how would she live in the future!

"Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Let's go find Li!"

Xiaoli turned her head blankly with a bitter smile on her face.

"But I don't know where the young master went. He didn't tell me this time."

Lucy's head buzzed. Li would have explained some of his previous actions. Why did Li just leave without saying anything this time?

Is it true as Xiaoli predicted that something bad will happen to Li this time?

Originally, she was the only one worried, but now, Lucy has joined Xiaoli's team.
